@derick: Thanks! As the mood strikes me I'll try a few more of these I think.
Unfortunately that's not the quote I was thinking of. I distinctly remember it having the part about "they did it", "we did it", "I did it". Oh well, I like your quote, too. It hits on the same point!@bob: That points to a problem further upstream. If you can’t trust your people to get it done, you have the wrong people or they’re not equipped properly.

i think the quote your looking for comes from Good To Great, page 35:
"Level 5 leaders look out the window to apportion credit to factors outside themselves when things go well (and if they cannot find a specific person or event to give credit to, they credit good luck). At the same time, they look in the mirror to apportion responsibility, never blaming bad luck when things go poorly."
